Holy Spirit: He’s not the Distant Cousin

The Holy Spirit is not an it or a thing, but rather is God Himself in spirit form. We see the place of the Holy Spirit in the trinity of the Godhead and recognize that it is an equal part of who God is. Jesus ascended into Heaven that we might receive His spirit to lead us, guide us, and teach us as we fulfill the hope of the gospel. In order for us to walk in the fullness that come from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we must first recognize the authority and relationship of the gift we have been given.
